Default Windows 7
Well, here it comes! The next OS in the Microsoft family.

Here's a brief overview of what it is going to entail from the official Microsoft site:

Quote:
So what is Windows 7?

It's the next version of Windows for PCs, and it's the result of working hand-in-hand with our partners and with people who use Windows in the real world every day. We're paying particular attention to the things they're telling us are important to them and will make their PCs work the way they want them to—things like enhanced reliability, responsiveness, and faster boot and shut-down. We're also trying to make their everyday tasks easier, like connecting and syncing devices, browsing the web, and managing a home network.

Of course, we're also working on new capabilities, so people will be able to do things with Windows 7 that were difficult (or perhaps impossible) to do with PCs before. Finally, we're working hard to ensure that Windows 7 will run on any PC and work with any program that works today with Windows Vista, so upgrading from Windows Vista will be easy.
That's so brief and broad, so for you tech heads out there, our little friendly wiki goes into more detail:

Windows 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I honestly think I'll still stay with XP and Linux. However, this one has gotten some brief reviews that say it might be pretty well done.

Ah and here is a leaked view of it:

And the official Site:

Welcome to Windows 7


So what do you think?

Well, that link really didn't show much. There are some major differences that I saw, I just wish I could find that site again. <.<

It's not meant to look significantly different from Vista, because it's not a paint job, the point of Windows 7 is the allow significantly better features, performance, and ease of use, not just make it look pretty. Besides, in what way is it supposed to look vastly different from Vista anyway? What could they even do? Make it look more glossy and shiny, the end? It's not meant to be much aesthetically different, but they're hoping that the technical aspect of Windows 7 will be improvements for the better. For one, the OS is being built to be completely backwards compatible with Vista and XP programs.

in other words, Vista Version 2.

If I have to fucking pay $300 for this shit, I'm going to rage.

They should give discounts to everyone since Vista sucks so much balls.

This new emphasis on the taskbar reminds me of Apple's dashboard for some reason.

This picture looks very good to me.
Maybe I'll buy Windows 7 when it comes out.

I say so what? People get so anal over minor superficial details in the OS.
